Sorry brother, but the skinny jeans need to go. I saw the thumbnail and was thinking, wow she's kinda cute...but then I noticed...Alpo...Alpo's a he!!!! Then I opened it up and noticed the beard.

There's a lot to do there if you want to avoid the andro route.

Let me know if you want the make over advice.

The andro route?

I'm sorry if I disappointed both of you. I was abroad so I tried to look like at least somewhat decent. I had to leave my gayer clothes at home. I try to work on that if I visit US at some point.

The good/disturbing news is that if you ever feel ugly or down on yourself you can recall this moment and say to yourself, "I might be alone right now, but Vamrat thinks I'm cute!" Hopefully it'll get you through...

Question a friend, perhaps he did not do it; but if he did anything so that he may do it no more.A hasty quarrel kindles fire,and urgent strife sheds blood.If you blow on a spark, it will glow;if you spit on it, it will be put out; and both come out of your mouth

I'm sorry vamrat that I didn't take your feelings seriously enough! I wonder if Adelphopoiesis could be revived.

However, English being what it is, there are regional and personal preferences. Nothing really "unnatural" about any of the sentences.

Interesting - hasn't she seems odd to me since tag questions usually repeat the auxiliary verb, which in this case is does. The tricky thing with teaching English is that usage changes a lot faster than what grammarians say is proper. And when I try to ask people they usually say they think is correct rather than what they normally say. So I have a hard time balancing what to use in the classroom.

american english cracks me up!here in the uk the average person (not just a posh person) would say:'liza has a heart of gold, hasn't she?'so vamrat wins the english competition

and the londoner would say:liza's go' 'n 'eart o' gold innit?'so lbk was close, but anyone dropping their 't's and 'h's so much would be from the london area, and in order to live in london, you have to say 'innit' all the time.it is short for 'isn't it' and is used at the end of any question, irrrespective of which verb should actually be used in negation.

I had promised to take them "out" somewhere this summer.....so, on their last day off, I finally took them to the Henry Ford Museum/Greenfield Village....and of course it had to be 97 degrees....as we walked through the mostly outdoor museum. Thank God there was a breeze!

I would be happy to agree with you, but then both of us would be wrong.

The first are my three daughters, two sons, son-in-law, and me, at my daughter Betsy's weddingThe second are my three girls (Betsy, Caelin, & Katy) at Betsy's vet school graduationThe third is a birthday celebration at a pub with my eldest son (Timm), eldest daughter (Katy), and two nephews (Cathal & Breandan)Last - me, in what my irreverent adult kids refer to as "Dad's Irish politician picture"

Fantastic pictures, Irish Melkite. Your family is wonderful, so it's little wonder that you're smiling so broadly in that last photo (I can also see why they call it your "Irish Politician" photo; haha).
